Crispy Creamy Weekend Waffles
We spent last night watching Ocean's Eleven and this morning I woke in the mood for an All-You-Can-Eat-Las Vegas Breakfast. I already had a bag of Oven Fried Bacon in the frig, and it took only a few minutes to scramble up eggs. All the "work" I had to do was beating the egg whites for a heaping pile of crispy, creamy waffles. Just calling it an "All-You-Can-Eat-Las Vegas Breakfast" somehow... More...

FINALLY! I found a recipe that produces my kind of biscuit, i.e. thick, creamy, moist, can be stuffed with eggs & bacon or left floating on a plate of down home white sauce. I baked up Kelly's Perfect Buttermilk Biscuit recipe over at Sass & Veracity, except I didn't have buttermilk on hand, so I used sour cream. These biscuits came out beautifully and my folks were scrambling for seconds. ... More...

Completely Budget Friendly - as low as $0.08 per cup for breakfast. Creamy & delicious- like eating mashed potatoes - Grits are my new favorite breakfast food! Grits have been around FOREVER. We don't hear too much about them. I guess it's because they're not sexy enough. Growing up, the most I ever heard of them mentioned was on the TV show, Alice, when Flo would bark at Mel, "Kiss My...

As far as bran loaded muffins go, these are pretty good, especially the next day. Like a Fruity Banana Bread, the muffins become softer, more moist, the longer they sit out on the counter in a storage container. I'm trying to mix up my breakfast regimen and try new-old classics. I've never eaten Malt O'Meal or hot cereal products other than oatmeal. From my local grocer, I picked up a box of oat... More...

Spicy Mexican food is the ultimate hang over food. Yeah, I said it, hang over. My girlfriend suggested I cover a fresh tamale with a couple of fried eggs, then top the whole dish with spicy salsa. I added a dollop of holy guacamole and few drops of green habenero sauce, just for good measure. I was in heaven! Sweating from the spices and filling a semi-sour tummy & fuzzy head with enough food... More...

When your omelet doesn't work out right, COVER IT WITH CHEESE, season with salt & pepper, then MOVE ON! The other day, Kelly from Sass & Veracity cooked up a Spanish Tortilla and I was inspired.
